Wonderful comparison. It can help a lot for the confused people to decide. But still I am confused if I go with malwarebytes then my separate antivirus expense can be saved. But I like the feature of hitman pro like keyword encryption and webcam protection etc. This is essential for me. Can I go with hitman pro without any other antivirus. People please share your experience.

Both the antimalware software are great and it is really hard to declare any one as the winner. Yes you have to find out your preference and need to decide. Major difference between these antimalware and inetrnet security suites is the firewall and traditional virus definitions. But yes these can be a replacement of basic antivirus. So if you are using an internet security then you can choose the hitmanpro for keyword encryption and webcam security.

Use both as licensed programs. Malwarebytes replaces anti virus and The Hitman as a backup for it. That is all I use, Defender is turned off. One point make sure to deactivate license for Malwarebytes before performing a system or system image. Not necessary for the Hitman. This is simple protection for my 4 dell pcs. If you do want Complete security than by all means stay with an anti-virus suite for more comprehensive protection. EXCELLENT ARTICLE!

For what it’s worth I’ve had an issue with my computer for a while with the “update Adobe Flashplayer” bug.

–PC**** could find it well enough so as to block it (without telling me where/what it was?), but would be frequent Chrome crashes rather than the PopUp window.

— Malwarebytes itself did not find it, nor did Zemana AV, but the Malwarebytes specialist AdwCleaner did find it as DRVAGNT.sys. And it tried, but could not remove it.

–HitmanPro found that bug and actually was able to remove it! Chrome screens are twice as fast now! Haven’t crashed in the few days since!

Based on this experience, and your review, I’m keeping Malwarebytes for it’s great website protection, keeping Zemana AL, and adding the HitmanPro.A. I’ll probably disable the keyboard encryption if it is a problem. Thanks for this clear & insightful product comparison! I’m feeling safer already! 🙂
